Enhancing image resolution software?

so i use GIMP to enhance/increase size of my images when i need to but usually the program messes up the fine details of the image and therefore ruins it. obviously it does a better job than Paint but still i would prefer i lost no quality in the image. is there a software that can increase the image's resolution with high detail? thanks a lot

First of all, increasing image resolution while maintaining high detail or enhancing detail is impossible. The reason why image is blurred when you stretch the size of an image is due to the fact your software calculates and fill in unavailable data, the detail information you are looking for never existed and will not magically appear. There are numerous ways to "enhance" the quality to make it look less blurry but it doesn't really solve actual problem.

TL;DR - Always go from large to small resolution and not the other way around unless you are dealing with a vector graphic.

Some programmes allow you to make vector images out of ordinary ones, though. They're not perfect, but they will often allow you to increase the size (if not altogether massively) without any really visible loss of detail. I use Adobe Illustrator on occasion for this. You basically tell the programme to make a 'drawing' of the picture in question, but make it as detailed as the programme can. Sure, it might take a minute or two to work on, but the result is probably the closest thing you can find to a vector image of an ordinary one.

so there are softwares that are able to shrink down but still keep their detail? sometimes when i shrink down some of my stuff in the preview it looks perfect but once i click the OK it just blurs everything.

so what softwares do i need to use to have better lager to small? too bad we don't have CSI stuff yet, they could be put into better use than a bad drama.
